RB Leipzig vs Manchester City: Preview
The good news for fans tuning into RB Leipzig vs Manchester City is that games involving the German side are rarely dull. This season, they have already claimed two 6-0 wins and a 5-0 victory, as well as losing 6-1 and suffering a pair of 4-1 defeats.
Unfortunately for Leipzig, the latter results may be more instructive ahead of this game. That 6-1 defeat came against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga last month, while the two 4-1 losses were to Como and Real Madrid in the Champions League - suggesting that good teams are able to find plenty of ways to open them up.
Either way, Leipzig have been a good watch under Martin Demichelis, who took over in the summer and enjoyed a long playing career, which included a spell at City from 2013 to 2016.
They are fourth in the Bundesliga but sit in the bottom half of the Champions League's 36-team league phase table, with three points from their first three games. A victory over City would be a huge boost in their bid to make the knockout stage, although they are without injured trio Maxime Esteve, Assan Ouedraogo and Marc Guiu.

City could do with a morale-boosting win after a tough week-and-a-half. Back-to-back Premier League defeats against Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion have seen them lose top spot to Arsenal, while they edged past the Seagulls on penalties in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
Those results served as a reality check after a great start to Enzo Maresca's reign - on the pitch, at least. It has made this trip to Germany more important than it might have looked on paper, especially with matches against Napoli and Barcelona next up in the league phase.
City are well-placed with six points from three games, having seen off Porto and AEK Athens, but more dropped points would harm their chances of finishing in the top eight and qualifying automatically for the last 16.
Maresca should have close to a fully-fit squad available, although he remains without injured winger Antoine Semenyo.
FourFourTwo's prediction
RB Leipzig 1-2 Manchester City
We are backing Maresca's men to return to winning ways, although the German side should pose a stern test.
